When do you feed your herps?

I was wondering if you feed you herps at the same time each day or do you change the times so the herps doesn't become to dependent on a specific time. I don't necessarily mean say 1pm more like in the afternoon (does that make since?). If you feed your herps at a specific time to they become distressed when you can't feed them on time?

I place fresh veggies in Spike's tank at 10-ish when he is getting up. I replace them with fresh veggies later in the afternoon like 3-ish. He tends to graze as he ambles around, so I don't know if I am doing the right thing or not. Should I feed him at a specific time and then remove what he doesn't eat? I'm open to suggestions...

I usually feed the Bearded Dragons and iggys their fruit and veggies somewhere between daylight and 10am. Then the Bearded Dragons will get their crix somewhere around 3pm.

Hello,

I feed my turtles fresh veggies and a couple turtle sticks every 3 days, no specific time, just when I remember, they aren't picky eaters... lol.

I feed my snakes every Friday or Saturday and usually in the evening when they are more active.
